I actually have a song for you. And you know how we talk about, oh boy, the Catholics Church songs, and they come back, right? Mm-hmm. And like the other day, I was in the shower and I had like a, a thought, and then all of a sudden I was mid song. And you know what came back to me? My original song that I created when I was like eight, the Golden Rose different one. My Wish was the other one. And it came back to me. I've never been more ready for anything in my whole life. Okay, ready? Here. I'm driving in the car to make wish on a special star. Just relax, close your eyes and say, and then it goes over a couple times. I'm gonna wish I'm, and I say, for love to fill my heart, I'm gonna wish I'm gonna fall. Peace to feel the earth. And that's, and that was, I don't remember the second chorus. Chorus. Chorus. No, the second verse. Thank you. And that, that was my original song. And my Wish, my jaw's on the floor, written song produced by Mo. And you were like, that will get the Catholics going. And there I was bent over, stark naked, moving the lips around to get the angles. And it came to me as The Good Lord intended. As the good Lord intended. And then not moments later, a new Pope was announced. So I ask of you, why am I not the Pope? This. Is this the song Divine Interventions that's been missing? Talk to Pope Leo, baby Slay Pope Leo. Anyways. Hi everybody. Hey, welcome to this week's episode of Sipping with the Shannon's. We're cousins and usually every other week we sit down, we sip on some wine, we talk some shit. We have a good giggle. I'm Bridget Shannon. And I'm Colleen Shannon. How the heck are you? Honestly? Like, I don't know. What do you mean? Like, good question mark. Okay. Exclamation point, exclamation point, quotation mark. You've had some, some highs and lows this month. Would you like to share with the class what uh, occurred? Oh, again, sorry for the cryptic Instagram. Yeah, I situation like didn't know how much to share slash No, like it's, hello it's me. No, I know where we're classic overs shares, but like via Instagram.'cause I wanted people to know it was gonna be delayed, but I also like didn't know how long, like I didn't know, but I wanted to say something. I don't know. Yeah, no, it's like, hey, family emergency. I was wheezing and I think Jesse's message being like, are you good? Yeah, my best friend because everyone just assumed someone died, which is completely normal and rational after the years that we have been together. Indeed. Uh, But what happened, Colleen? All is well my mother had a a bout of pneumonia. Pneumonia. It was scary though. It was not a normal, yeah, it wasn't great. We, as she's so sugarcoating this right now, it's crazy. No, we, as you know, stubborn Irish folk do not wish to be a burden or go to a doctor. So therefore, my mother got her, let her pneumonia get a little bit worse than it needed to be. So she wasn't doing great. So we spent like eight days in the hospital. She's fine now, gang. All is well. Just needed a hot moment. But yeah, just go see a doctor if you're not feeling great, that's all. But yeah, we're fine. Yeah. You got called though. You rushed down there. Things were not great. You had called 9 1 1. No, they were, they weren't sleigh. They weren't sleigh. They were not a sleigh. I met you at the hospital, like things were not because you did that was so kind of you. No, I didn't say that.'cause I, I just meant like, I saw it all play out in a way and it was, it was really scary. It was really scary and I'm glad everything worked out. But it's yeah, it's that whole like put on your, your own face mask before you put on someone else's thing. It's like if you don't feel well, there are certain illnesses that are not your common cold, that you can't just take a Mucinex DM and go about your business. There are some things that. You need extra help for. Yeah. So shall we. We just will not ignore them moving forward. And it like was, it was the kind that like went into her blood instead of like just in her lungs. Right. So it was really Right. And she has diabetes and then it messed with her diabetes, which is her beatus, which anyone who knows diabetes, you cannot fuck around with it. And then it all culminated into a really ugly day. Yeah. So it was great. But we're good now. All is well, I promise. Yeah. Colleen's like, we're fine. Don't come here. I'm like, I'm a, I'm actively walking in right now. Like, what do you mean you were at a hospital? I had to drive by on what fucking planet to know. Move on. I know, I know, I know. Well, to be fair, like she's just like chilling in a goddamn hallway and I'm just sitting in the lobby. So I'm like, oh no. I mean, it's like what else they're do, I'll just sit here and scroll. TikTok. I mean, there's quite literally nothing I could do. So like you were actually kind of cute. You were like falling asleep a little bit and I was like, oh, oh, I was searching for piece internally. Yeah, that's fair. But yes, you're person and you're also forgetting the aspect of this where your father has Alzheimer's, so you're not dealing with two healthy parents. You are caretaking for one while you care take for the other. Yes. So it, the it nothing was easy. No, no, no. Yeah, that's so true. So I think we're giving ourselves not enough credit here per usual. But we've had a lot of good, I mean, we haven't seen each other outside of that. I, I mean, I had been home like two days. Yeah. That, that being the first time I had seen you, I'm like, we have so many things to talk about in the ER in this moment, like. Let us, let us pray. Yeah. Let's bookmark this for a moment. Yeah. We're gonna put a pin in my whole trip and just focus on this for a second. Other than that, and then you were busy and then I, I was sick. I have an upper respiratory infection, which is about as fun as it sounds. Yeah. And I was fine all weekend. You're sound, you're sounding okay. Yeah. I sound mu Oh, whole Monday. The Crip keeper. The crip keeper. I couldn't open my eyeballs. I feel like I like that voice sometimes though. Like, I would love to have a nice little wrap. Yeah. Like, that's just, just like kind like, oh, I feel, feel, I feel like not cute. I'll tell you. That is not the vibe I get at all. But then I was really sick, so this is the first time we're really full hanging and yapping outside of texts in two months, two and a half months. That's a long ass time. I know. It's too long. Like the point where I actually was writing down like, did we talk about this already? Like that's how far out I was going. I know. We have to start with you though, because you have a very big update for us. Yeah. I'm blushing. I'm giggling, I'm kicking my feet on the couch, so I don't know.'cause I don't listen to our podcast oddly enough. But the last episode that came out, where did I, because remember how they were backwards. You were just starting to date someone. Right. Did we Were like, were did he had he asked me yet, or no? I can't remember. No. Yeah, so he, I do have a boyfriend now, which like, ew. And she's in love. I like don't like to say those words. Like, why? I don't know. It's kind of an ick, like sometimes he'll like say like my girlfriend and I'm like, oh. Like I literally can say like the words I have that like, that's just, you have a wonderful boyfriend you're in love with. I just say mans. I just said mans. But like a year ago we had never been on a date. Yeah, that's that's true. Look at us now. Look at us now. No, so true. It's crazy. Yeah. He is amazing. A precious gem of a man. Guys. He's blue collar, he's scruffy, he checks all the things he he wrong. Truly, he, and like we do not give credit to men ever here. Clearly. No, they don't deserve it at the end. They're just a man. But like no deserves they're animals. We ride for him at dawn. We ride for him at dawn and only because he would ride for me at dawn. Do, does that make sense? Yes. He has shown you tenfold what a man is capable of. Yeah. And he does more than he, you know how, like you say what you mean. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like he does more than he says. Does that make sense? Yes. And I, I said, you know, like the guys who love bomb you, who like I love you, you're so beautiful every five seconds and then don't do anything I think are such trash, like the men who. Actually just do it and show you versus saying it. Oh my goodness gracious. And he does both you guys, we were listing off all the things that he only green flags. I mean, I've not met him yet, so I can't speak to it fully. No, but like, and I'm also keep mind, but every story you tell me, I am like, where did this man come from? No, I know a different planet. I asked her earlier, what Gods have you been praying to? Like what God, All of that Catholic school growing up. Ozempic and Annie's Mac and cheese. That's who I've been praying to. And let me tell you, I don't know, something happened. So pick Catholic. He's one. This is ama. I'm so happy for you. He sounds so normal. No, he has his shit together. Like he's so kind. He's obsessed with you. I mean it, he literally ticks everybody. I could not have created a man better than the one that you're dating right now. No. He is literally retriever for now. He's a golden retriever. Sweet angel boy. Yeah. No, I really have nothing. I don't have one bad thing to say about him. He doesn't gimme an ick. And I think that majority of things that I would be classified, considered SI just like think are endearing and cute. Yeah. Yeah. Early stages dating. I love it. And you're in love, like you've dropped the L word on each other. Yeah. Yeah. Like I, I can't, but I also am like very, like, I, like I was on the phone with my boss. I was like, okay, bye. Love you. Like I am always like just I say that. No, same. Yeah. Not because there's no value to the word. Like that's not what I mean by it. But it's just like not. Not hold weight. It does it. Yes. It's just like, it's not a big thing to me. Yes. In my agree opinion, but I mean, literally end this podcast with love. You mean it? Yeah. Like I don't, I say love you to, like I said, love you to the food runner at the restaurant I work at the other day. I was like, thanks, love you. Like, he's like 12. Like I just, I gotta stop. You know what I mean? So like, he knows that, like, I'll be like, and then he's like, no, no, no. Like I, I know you and I know what you mean by that, so it's fine. But yeah, we shall see. He could decide he hates me tomorrow. I don't know. But no, he won't. Well, obviously let, he won't, I'll let the girlies know, obviously. And she has done some shit in front of him. Gang, trust me, she is not hiding. Oh, no. And also, like, I'm not being delusional either. Like I, you all know I'm clearly a hater. I'm judgy. I am very like, we love that about you though. Overly assessing anything. And I don't, like, I'm not being delusional to this person. Like he's, no, you're not. You're not. He's what he, I say he is. Yeah, he's, he has proven it. That's my thing. It's like he doesn't just say it, he proves it. Like he makes your favorite dinner and he makes sure anything that you're interested in. He also shows he caught me goddamn Easter basket with bubbles in it. Are you shitting me? There was bubbles in it. He's an angel. Because I was telling him how I got my roommates in Easter basket, like whatever, I think I was out buying something and he was like, well, is anyone get gonna get you one? And I was like, oh, I don't, I don't know. I was just like, I didn't think of it like that. It comes walking into my apartment with a pink Easter basket just filled with shit. Like, just things that I would never even think of. So thoughtful. Obsessed and like, not in a NICU way. You know, I, I cannot tell you how much I am here for this. Like I said, I am kicking my feet and giggling. It's just so wholesome. And it's not only what you deserve. I'm just so happy to see it. And he's very type A everybody. So like everywhere they go he's like, do you have this? Do you have that? And that makes me so happy because Oh yeah, he holds my license and my cards for me, you know, that's what I do to Colleen. And it's just so nice to you. You've met your equal in a lot of ways, but also someone who's polar opposite than you in a good way. Yeah. And isn't bothered by it, in fact. Yeah. It isn't like, oh, fucking Colleen not again. It's like, oh, Colleen. Yes. Isn't that cute? Yeah. I'm like, no, I'm gonna kill her. Indeed. Yeah. Correct. At least that's what it's like right now. I'll let you know and like Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how you feel. He would appreciate to know that his one of his parents were like asked for like my name or whatever, like a while ago. Yeah. And the dad was like, who's Italian? Was like, not an Irish abroad. And he goes, run, run. He's not wrong. No, I know he's not right. He married an Irish bro. I said, said, I said no notes. I have no, yeah, he did marry an Irish broad. His mom's Irish bro, so that's why he made that joke. But either way I'm like, no, no notes script. No, that's fair. That is fair. And that's the tea. And he has it, he's met your friends when he is never met anyone in the fam. Not in the fam, but like, I also don't, and I also, we've talked about it on the pod of me being like, why does that, we've talked about it on the PO or in person, I don't remember, but I brought up like it stresses you out stressed and I don't feel like I have no problem. Dropping him off at my house and driving away and not being concerned about anything he would do or say to anybody. God damn. Yeah. And I know that he wouldn't care either. I've always thought, and I did, I, I don't know this to be true from my own experience, but just based off of what I hear is that when you're in the right relationship, like your blood pressure should be at zero. Yeah. Not act, you know what I mean? It should be low. Your heart rate should be steady. Like it's someone who gives you peace. It's not someone who keeps you on your toes, who makes you worried, makes you question yourself. It just feels right and comfortable. Yeah. That's what it sounds like. When I find he is near I, I find more peace. Peace. Like if he has like a, if he has anywhere, like even like to say necessarily like to touch me, but like if I felt his presence, like I feel more at peace if you will. And I never said it. And then one day he actually said it to, he said it to me recently and was like, I feel much more like calmer if like you were walking out like, oh yeah. Nice man. Very nice man. Oh, I'm so happy. I'm like, I didn't wanna say that loud because like imagine like a week from now, he's like, actually I hate you. And then I like talking, I'll hide. No, no, no, it's not, it won't happen. He talks too much in the future. But for the, for the record, I'm putting that out. If that does happen, like we can laugh and we'll write it on. Cool Sleigh. That's the only other, I think. What other updates do I have? Oh Brian had a baby that was sleigh. He so cute. Cute. And you guys know I've talked about it. Not fucking with the baby sometimes, but especially the fresh ones. And we all said collectively thank fucking God. He's so cute. Like we could not have faked it if he wasn't right. Like we can't, we've talked about it too much. We can't fake it. It's the first baby of the friend group too. Yeah, no, he's actually like, like I wanna sniff him. He's so cute. Oh, they smell wicked good. Yeah, he does. He smells so good. I know. It's crazy. Just wanna squish. Just wanna squish. Yeah. Yeah, he's wicked cute. I meant to ask you too, did I ever talk about Jackson Hole? Was this, have we been I've not seen you since then. No, we recorded right before he left. Got it. Isn't that crazy? That is so long ago. I know, I know. Damn. Yeah. Out west is crazy. People are interesting. Yeah. I've never been that far out, out west. Loved it. Actually need to go to Montana. That's the next one. I really, really liked it. Need to learn how to ski though. I really felt left out. But like, obviously I'm down to drink on the mountain. Love the vibes. Love the energy. Yeah. The locals not okay. They're not well really in, in a good and a bad way. They just do not give a fuck at all. Just anything comes outta their mouth. It's crazy. Oh. A lot of interesting Ubers were taken. I left by myself on Sunday to go to the airport'cause I had, my flight was alone. My Uber picked me up and he pulls up in a truck and to the point where I was like, there's no way. This is my fucking Uber. And. I stood out there with my, like, hands on my luggage, just waiting patiently looking around to the point where the man got outta the car and was like, Colleen. And I was like, oh sir, you're my uber fur. He puts me in the back of the truck and it's all fur seats. Get the fuck outta there. He has like a, a lucky rabbit's foot hanging. Like naturally. It is the loudest truck I've ever seen. Like, I'm like, there's no way this, this truck is running. Like it was insane. And then we, he's stopping to show me animals. Like, wait, I stop and see a moose. Like, I was like, it's like five o'clock in the morning. Little sightseeing on the way to the airport. No, it was crazy, I suppose. And he's just like, yeah, have a great one. And then flash forward maybe a day, six hours later, I don't even remember what the timeframe was. Erin text and goes, I just had the weirdest Uber experience I've ever had. And I was like, and she was like fur seats. And I was like, Erin, we had the same fucking Uber. How weird is that? And just like, just, that's how I would describe like Jackson hole. Two, two fur seats. Everything there is just so cute, so quaint, so pleasant. What's good with the fucking thousand dollar cowboy hats? I don't know. I don't know. People are not okay. They take dancing like super seriously. Oh, the line dancing? Yeah. Like you're not allowed to bring a drink on dance floor. Not for me. Because your girl forgets. And then I couldn't remember where I put my drink down before because everyone kind of just like puts it. Yeah.'cause you can spill and someone can slip. Yeah. And that's a li being not fucking around liability. And also there's like thousands of people in this million dollar cowboy bar. It is so fucking goddamn hot. I have a cowboy hat on my crotches sweating. It's like a whole thing. And I'm trying to pop my pussy. It was just a lot. Back. So like maybe So you would go back? Yeah. No, I would, but like if you've been a million dollar, dollar cowboy bar, if you've been to Jackson Hole, like, you know what I'm talking about? Like i I, to the point where, you know, you're old one, you're like, this is a fire hazard. Like if we had an emergency, now there's two people in here. We are going, we're down a bounce of people in here to the point where someone was like, ask the bouncer how many people are in here? No. Like we were hyper fixated on it. You know, that's when you know you're old, you care about, but I heard it's stunning. It is stunning. I felt bad for the skiers because the visibility was really bad. So like, they really couldn't see the mountains. That's terrifying. Yeah. So I, we couldn't really see everything that we like would normally see, which is crazy, but it was still stunning. I went on an elk sleigh ride. Oh yeah. But it was like really educational and I was like, no. Like I'm in like a fur babushka and I'm like here to see, I'm trying to be page DeSorbo. Like I'm trying to, no, I, I was having a page absorb moment and I was like, wait, I'm, this is going like, this isn't the fashion moment you're talking about the different type of elk shit. Like I don't care. And there's children here, there's children around me wanting to learn about elk. And I was like, this was not what I thought this was going to be. Yeah. Fair. But also so cool at the same time, like, we're like in a sanctuary for like fucking elk and they're like migrating and shit. I don't know, but they come up real close to you Saw Wolf. That was cool. What else do I have for you? Oh my god. Things that are in martinis, sew in, they were kind of in when we left. First we just, they've literally never been out. We've talked about this so many times. No, but they're extra in now. Like dirty martinis. Blue cheese stuff. Olive martinis are in, in now. I love that for you. Grill 23. Muco. Okay, done. Cosmo twist my arm. Must muco. Okay, thank you. They bri give you bread and there's cornbread in there too. Done. Bread, bread, bread. And Cosmos loved it. Lucky's is out. Tried to give it another try. Me, Erin and Fiona were cursed. Part two went, went again, tried to give it another round, having a great night. Live music. Loved it. Erin comes across a man that she's like, oh, we've matched on Hing and talked before, but like, we just like never followed up on the conversation. Whatever passed him. He's like, I know you. She's like, I know you. They start chatting. I, my senses are tingling again. Mm-hmm. And I swear, like, I know I'm judgy, but I'm not crazy. No. I, intuition Israel and I, and Aaron's like, no, like he's a firefighter. Like I could easily like, you know, doing the whole thing. Like he's handsome. I'll give him that. He's handsome. I, he has a, a New Hampshire tattoo in the back of his neck. I'm immediately like, something's not right. And then I see like three words coming up on his neck, like of a tattoo, which I love a tattoo. Love men with tattoos, not hating on that at all. And I go, oh, what does that say? He's like, loyalty. I'm like, here we fucking go. I'm like, Aaron. And I was like, so. He's not your husband, you know, like he's just, yeah. He's just not your husband. Like you wanna give kiss, you wanna, he is just fun for the time. You wanna pack the pee, go right the fuck ahead. I'll put him in the Uber myself with me. Like with us. I don't, I don't care. Right. So that happens, we end up going home, like we put him in the Uber, me, Aaron, Fiona Mans, we get in the Uber, I'm in the front seat, and he starts leaning over Erin and is like talking to Fiona, like shooting the shit, whatever. Immediately only asked her about her relationship history, why she doesn't have a boyfriend. She's beautiful. Going on and on and on as if Erin to Fiona. Yes. As if Erin doesn't exist in the car. And I'm sitting in the front, like not really acknowledging it, but also at the same time thinking, Hmm, this is kind of weird. But I also don't realize that Erin is also like pissed and thinks it's weird. So then he proceeds, and I, I think, and Fiona was just like entertaining him because she was doing it on Erin's behalf. Like Yeah, she's being polite, right? Yeah. So she's like, yeah, yeah. Like, do you wanna know? Like I'll, yep. Whatever. She doesn't understand fully the context of Erin in the stranger either. She like, probably, I think she thought like they had been talking for like a while. So like, you know what I mean? So then we all get home and this man is just still being a weirdo. And Aaron's immediately like, no, I'm not touching him. Like, no, we're not, we're not. He can go. And so I'm like, all right, here we go again. We gotta kick this man outta the house. Mm-hmm. And so she tries to tell him like, no, I changed. Like, you're being weird. What? And he was he does not accept it. Which is the strangest thing. The minute someone makes me feel like I've done something weird, I'm apologetic and I leave. Yeah.'cause you're a woman. He does not leave. He does not understand. He sits down on the edge of her bed and I'm obviously like in the doorway, like lurking. And I'm like chopping on carrots, being like, sir, like, I think it's just, tomorrow's a new day. I think it's time to go. Like, you know, and he's not understanding like, what have I done? And so finally after like him not, she's like, this is what you did. This was weird. You're being a fucking weirdo. And he was like, I was trying to get to know your friend for you. And she was like, you didn't ask her anything talking to about me. And he said, yeah, you told me she had a boyfriend, so I didn't like, I didn't talk to her or something. You just put, yeah, that's the problem. So this went on for like 40 minutes in our apartment. Can I just tell you, if you, if men say no, it's like end of discussion. That's how I feel. If a woman says no, they're like, it's time for a negotiation. No, it was literally insane. You are a fucking weirdo. He gas her. Get out of my house. This isn't up for debate. We're not, we're not. This isn't negotiation. Get the fuck outta my house. Mm-hmm. Or I'm calling the cops question mark. Leave. Like, why is this so hard? They men need to feel more shame. I agree. And women need to feel less of it. That's all. No, please continue. That was an excellent statement. He said something along the lines of you made me come back here and like now, like I left my keys with my, like, he's just like trying to guilt her and she's like, okay, go. If Fiona comes barreling out of her room and is like, where do you need to go? I'll call you an Uber. Get out. Like leave. And yeah, I think he was still in our living room and we go into Fiona's room, we're giggling. We're like, this is actually insane. Like, is this real? Do men actually act like this? He's still in our living room. I'm like, he's probably gonna steal our shit. How old is he? I think he's our age. I think he's my age. So our age. Yeah. So late twenties, early thirties. Just like, not like you should be acting like that. No. So, he ends up leaving and Aaron goes, I'm goes to go on his Instagram. He had already blocked her before he even left the apartment. Yeah. Crazy. Like, men are simply not Okay. So needless to say, men are unwell. We're never going back to fucking Lucky's ever again. And I am always right. That's all. That's, yeah. There's a reason why you have intuition and I'm glad you listened to it because that's the whole point I was telling Colleen earlier I was on, I'm back on the dating apps and I'm, I'm on very casually and I kind of love it because I'm going in completely indifferent. Like, who can I, who can I fuck around with? Yeah. Yeah. I almost said that I stopped myself. Who can? No expectations nothing. Yeah, like zero. The bar is so lowest in hell. It's like, who's fun to chat with essentially is the vibe. It's, I'm not husband hunting. I'm not even boyfriend hunting. I'm like, who can I chat with? And so I'm talking to this guy, the banter is there, it's very witty. We're going back and forth. I asked him a question and he's a little elusive, and I was like, oh, are you going for the mysterious thing? And he was like, yeah, I hear women love that. And I was like, yeah, great. Just so you know, I hope that's not the expectation for me because I am the opposite of whatever mysterious is. I do not have a mysterious bone in my body. She's a dead giveaway. She's an open book to her demise. She is an open book. And he goes, no, no, no. I wanna learn everything about you. I wanna learn, you know, inside and out. And I was like, great. Where would you like to start? And he goes, well, let's just dive in. Why do you think you're single? And I go, oh my God, this is such an easy one for me. Glad you asked. I have built such a fun, amazing, fulfilling life for myself, and I genuinely love being single. And unless I date someone, if I met someone and they were amazing and they were a positive impact on my life, it made me happy in a way that I can't then great. But if you are shady or you're being a dick, or you're trying to play mind games, like you gotta go. We just don't have room for it. And I'm really protective over my piece and everything that I've built for myself, I'm really proud of it. And that's why. And until I meet that person, like it's just not happening. And then I was like, so what about you? Unmatched me. Stop talking to me. I was like, imagine telling a man now I'm telling you this, I wasn't even upset. I laughed out loud. I was like, imagine telling a man. I am happy in it. Being a nick, hey, I, I have fun in my life. I built this life for myself. I'm really proud of unmatched all good here. Can't ruin that. Nothing for him to work with. It's like they, he's gonna go wanting to be like, I need someone to sweep me off my feet. And I'm so sad. And I like, they need to be like needed or something. It's so icky. Yeah. I actually, I talked to my therapist about, this was like a while ago.'cause I, I am pride myself on being very self-reflective. Right? I've been dating all these years. It hasn't worked out. And instead of just continuously blaming men, which I always do, I was like, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Like, what do you think it is? And she basically said that. She's like, no, you're just honest. You're just yourself. You're confident. You know what you want. And there are a lot of men out there who say they want one thing and then when they're confronted with it, they're like, oh no, I didn't mean that though. They're like, it's the idea of it. Yeah. It's like to just say it. To say it. And so she's like, keep doing you boo boo. So if you're in the same position as me, if someone adds great, but. You're, if you subtract, you gotta fucking go. What's the point? Yeah. I'm always honest. I'm not doing anything weird on a date. Like imagine me on a date. I, I do exactly what you would imagine that I do. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah. And make people feel comfortable and being yourself. That's all. And I ask a ton of questions and I yap and I roast them because that's my love language is roasting people. Oh my god. Amy Poer has a new podcast. I'm obs Guys, if you just need to listen to a podcast, I think it's saw a clip that makes you just feel warm and fuzzy. She's just the best. It is my pride and joy that she is from Burlington, Massachusetts. Like the fact that we share a hometown makes me so overjoyed. It's simpatico. Yeah. I just adore her. Or she was actually on Last Cold Charas, which I also love. And she said Roasting is for people you know. Well, and manners were for people that I don't know. And I've never felt more seen. I was like, I roast everyone I love and I'm very polite to people who I don't see as like close family or friends. Yeah. This is standard. I feel like that's normal. Yeah. Anyway, that's like, that should be count as a love language roasting. Yeah. Yeah. What's like a bougie word for roasting? Um, Lambasting. Lambasting. Someone driving. Eviscerating. Eviscerate. I love ev Eviscerates Tough though. Like you're not just, well, in RuPaul's Drag Race they say like, read you to filth, like the library is open, lambasting and has an air of refinement, but still means to criticize harshly lambasting. That's exactly what we do. Perfect. That's exactly what we do. Thanks chatty girl. When we were in St. Lucia's, SRA was like, I can't do anything without you. I'm like, that's how we roll. Correct. We, we lambast as one should a new love language category. Anyway, please continue. Any other updates? No. Honestly, that's really all I have. I've been off the hot yoga. I'm onto the Pilates because I literally cannot, this is not a complaint. This not That's the whitest thing you've ever said in your life. No. Listen here, here's the background for it. Okay, I'm on, because I remember it was a hyper fixation for a while. My hot yoga, like it wasn't like that. Of course, yes. I moved on to the, I cannot get rid of the pb, the pot belly. She's just being stubborn, like there's nothing I can do about it. Can I tell you something, Colleen? Yeah. It's my organs. So there is extra weight around women's stomachs. To protect your organs in your womb. If you were ever attacked or if something ever happened to you and you were with child, that is why women have extra meat, if you will, extra fat. But why don't, why doesn't everybody around their bellies? Everybody does have it. I don't see it on other people. Your friends are freaks of nature. I'm sorry. The your friend group is, is just Instagram models. It's insane. I genuinely don't know how you do it. I don't know how you do. I, I, humor. Humor. It would give anyone a fucking complex. They're the skinniest people I've ever seen in my life. I grew up around Beau. My friend group from home is Stu, but they all curvy. They all got something. Yeah. Most women do. The average size of American woman is like a 14, 16 gene. That's crazy. Stop comparing yourself to skinny bitches who have d different genetics that are, my thoughts are that I have actively tried to, to change it now, like, and I'm comfortable with wherever I'm at. You are, but like, so small cars. No, I, I know, but I'm saying like the, the act of trying to get rid of it and it actually not moving is like annoying to me. It's like I'm actually trying, like That's rude. Yeah, that's definitely rude. You also need to, so me saying I'm trying to do Pilates instead to see if that switches it. Yeah. I, and I, I totally get that. And if that's a part of your body that would make you feel more confident if it was shaped differently. Completely understand. I have crazy body dysmorphia as well. We all have it to some degree, but I also think you should make peace with it in some way of like, this is your body and it's there to protect you. I do have peace with it, but then sometimes I'm just like, well, I'm just, yeah. I wish this was different. It's just being stubborn. Yeah. It's the most stubborn part of a woman's body is the lower belly. Fucking rude. That was really, it's very rude. Fucking rude. That TikTok sound. Oh, I love that. I love that that sound. It's from a musical, so obviously with the bullet, she's like a bullet in her, her, yeah. And her center. Yeah. Death becomes her. And like tummy tucks are no fucking joke. They cut. If you really wanted to get rid of it, you would pay so much money and they cut you from hip to hip. It is like, that's not, it's cool. It's way bigger than a c-section scar. Way bigger. No, thank you. And sometimes they give you a new belly button. Would love a good lipo situation. Maybe a boob lift. Lipos. So dangerous. I've done worse. Breast lift 10 outta 10. I recommend they did that during my breast reduction. Best thing of all time. They, they propped those babies. They point to the fucking sky. I'd love that. I'd love that. That I would re I personally recommend that. But your belly, she is there to protect you and keep you warm for famine. I hate to tell you this. I was telling mans about that. I was like, listen this back. Yeah. This PCOS. The well one, the beard. He thinks I'm insane. The wide back, the low ass crack. But I'm like, no. Like it's evolution. It's evolution, baby. He was like, I would love to see you with like a, a thing of hay on your back. I'm like, you would never, I was like, so one, you would literally never because that's a blue job. That would be you, not me. Two. That's a blue job. Blue job. Sorry. Sorry. That's all the personal updates I have. But I do have like obviously for after things that we simply must discuss together. Yes. That have happened. And also things that we've watched and shit. But I wanna hear about. Yeah. Well I'm very sick, so ignore me in advance. We do anyways. God, lamb, she's lambasting me guys. She's lambasting me so hard. St. Lucia. So I went to St. Lucia for a month with my travel bestie Sidra. It is the most beautiful place. It is like Aruba in Hawaii had a baby. It put her on a direct flight out of Logan JetBlue. It is, it, it's not real. Like you're looking at it and you're like, I can't be seen. This is ai. This is a computer background screen. Where is it Logistically? Down yonder. Okay. So Florida. Yeah. Right. And then you have all of the eastern ca all the Caribbean islands. It's one of the last ones. So they almost go like in a arc like this? Yeah. And it's one of the lower ones. Oh, equator. Yeah. So like way below Miami, the equator is Ecuador, so that's much, much lower. No, I know, but it's the closest one. No. Of the ark. No, no. So Barbados is lower, or it's to the side? St. Vincent's and the Grenadines. So like, that's Puerto Rico at the top. Mm-hmm. And St. Lucia is down yonder here. Sleigh. It's nearly South America. It's low. It's pretty low. It's one of the most beautiful places. It's the only island named after a woman. Lucy, and I think Ireland is too, but it's technically a goddess. And St. Lucia is named after a woman. So we were in the north of the island. That is where like all the nightlife, the bars, the life is happening That's like this quote unquote city. And then the south of the island is where the super, super rich and famous go to just sit in a secluded disgustingly beautiful beach and spend thousands and thousand dollars a night to stay. So, I don't know if you're on this side of TikTok, but do you ever see Jade Mountain Resort? No, but I, is it like one of those places where you walk, like walk outside and you're in the water? So it's one of those places where you get a butler per room, you get your own butler, and when you open the door, the whole thing is open air. Yes, yes, yes. And you walk out and the two peons, which are the two mountains, they're two different sizes. One big and one little kind of I guess unless you're hiking it, which Esra was like, do you wanna go for a hike? And I was like, no. She said it as a joke.'cause she knew what my reaction would be. Oh, okay. Which is take a fucking hike, literally. But that it has the view of the peons. It's all open air. It, they're just, they're just stunning. But we were in the north of the island and every Friday night in St. Lucia, there is a massive Friday night party and street vendors, food vendors are all out. Everybody's walking around. The whole island goes. People from Martinique, Dominica, all these people ferry in and stay the night to go to the Friday night Street party pop offs. There's a dj. All the bars are open, and it's from like nine to 2:30 AM It is so much fun. Stager was like, how if you were a local, how often would you need to go before it got old? And I literally said, never. Every week's a new dj. Every week's a different vibe. Why don't they have that shit here? I, I don't know. I, it, it was like, I, I was explaining to Erin, she goes, it kind of sounds like the north end feast every Friday. And I was like, yes, but without rules, I feel like, and, and way less rules. And it's 85 and sunny with a breeze and you're on the water. So everyone's, it's at night. The whole island does it religiously. Every Friday everybody goes like, everybody's in on it. No one's, everybody's in on it. All the bars, all the, it is so fucking good. So our friend Alyssa came to visit at one point and we decided to splurge and go to the south of the island and stay where all like the bougie celebrity stay. And we all split a hotel room for the night and we stayed at this place with an infinity pool and a view of the peons. And it just was outside of my brain. Like I I it was a once in a lifetime, even though I could probably do it back and do it again. Yeah. The three of us staying, we, we booked the honeymoon suite, as you should. It's called the Grotto. It had its own pool. It had its own balcony into just like the three of us have wine and sit on this balcony and look at the stars and listen to music and the Tetons are in the back. Like, it just was not real life. I feel like pictures wouldn't even do it justice. No, it does. That's exact. It's one of those situ situations. Your photos were slang though. Yeah, the photos were beautiful. You were slang. Oh, thank you. Thank you. The phone eats first baby. No, it it, I can't recommend St. Lucia enough. It just was so beautiful. There's this beach, it's called Sugar Beach. And in between the two Tetons,'cause the two Tetons are technically a couple miles apart, in between the two is this resort. And to stay at this resort is like 7,000 plus dollars a night. We looked and we stayed at an apartment in Sore, which is the town right there. Mm-hmm. It was$90 for the night. We split it$30. We walked to the docks and we got a$70, 70 US dollars water taxi, and we spent the whole day at this resort restaurant bar, everything. There's also a free part to the beach where the chairs don't cost anything. So all these people travel hacks. And I went and I sat in that hammock sitting in the water four hours like I did. SER was like, at some point you do have to come. I was like, no, I don't. Who's this? Fun fact, I actually don't have to ever leave. I could sleep. I just, It doesn't feel real. It's just the most beautiful thing. Oh, when I got there too, I could tell Michael Jordan was there because his private jet was in.'cause when you get off the plane and you like walk off, it's one of those, is it small? Small? The airport's pretty small. Yeah. Even the interna, there's two airports. The international one is pretty small in the, the regular one, like the one that hopped is an island hopper. We dropped Sagera off at that because her layover was in Trinidad. So it took her on like an island hopper. It's on the beach. It's on, it's on this beach. It's called Gie Beach. Look it up. It is one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever been to. And you have to pay for the bathroom. And when we got to Viji Beach, they were like, oh, you can just use the airport. So people were walking across the street to the airport to pee. That's crazy. I look up, I was like, this is such a wi and there's weirdly a cemetery at the end of the airport. Well, now I know where to put you. So it's, it's just like a stunning crystal blue white sand beach next to an airport, next to a cemetery. It's a, it's a wild thing. So one night we're in the grotto. I had a suite back at our Airbnb. And so we walked in and there was a big king size bed, and then there was a cot. And I was like, well, at back at home, quote unquote home, I have the big room, so why don't you guys split the big bed and I'll sleep on the CO for the night. And so when we went to go stargazing on the balcony, I rolled my CO out and I was like, wouldn't it be so nice to sleep under the stars? Like my friends were like, this was, you have a co one in a lifetime, rolled this bitch out here, have this outdoor experience, like what else will you sleep with this as your surroundings? And I was like, you're so right. The photo you were told me like, you sleeping outside, I'd be like, no. So I bring out my eye mask, okay. And I star case and I have myself a time. And then I go to bed and I wake up and there are bugs all over me. And it starts to rain and I can't go back to sleep. And I'm starting to get stressed and all of a sudden I'm like, I have to drag the bed back into the room. Like it's time, but they're both asleep because it's the middle of the fucking night. And so I am D drag, I have the eye mask on the top of my head, one eye open, dragging this bed, trying to be quiet, bumping into everything. And all of a sudden I hear SRA go, what's going on? And with my retainer in, I go, I'm just not built for this. It's raining. There are bugs and I just wanna sleep. And she was like, okay, girl. And she picked the bed up on one side and I picked it up on the other and we walked it in and it, I laid down and immediately went to bed. And she was like, it was, I, I thought built for this. Like why did I think I could be outdoorsy? No, it was a nice sentiment. It was a nice thought, but like my idea of the outdoors is sitting on that balcony let me sleep in the element. I mean, to be fair, it was like in your back little porch situation in like this high class joint met it really not the elements. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was like, oh my God, camping. Who is she? She's glamping. So I loved it. Two cons. There were, there were two cons of the entire month. One the meanest dogs you've ever met in your life to the point where I was like, have they all been given something? Wow. Why? Why is every dog hackles raised crazy and all through every neighborhood we stayed in? When you say mean, what do you mean? Like you can't approach like the bug you, so they're raised as guard dogs. They're not the fluffy dog that you let sleep in your bed at night. These are dogs who stay outside and alert you if something is incorrect. Oh. And so every morning I would wake up to dogs barking because one would bark and then it would set off the whole neighborhood. Like they are the most temperamental group of animals I've ever met in my life. And I asked, we had this one cab driver nearly the whole time we were there. And I asked him like, what's up with, why are all the dogs mad? And he said, that's St. Ian's form of security. They, they feel more comfortable when they hear them barking'cause they wanna be aware of something's going on. And I'm like, oh, okay, that's, you know, here in America. Like dogs still do that. Just from the inside of your house? No, no, no, no, no, no. Outside. Like if you walked by and they were behind a gate, they would go up to the gate and start barking at you. Like we were scared. I don't like that. So that was a bit of a learning curve.'cause SRA is fucking Dr. Doolittle and I love dogs. One time a gate was open and the, you could see the hair on the dog's back standing up. And we were walking by and I was like, we couldn't be too less violent. Do you know what I mean? Like, yeah. We are not giving off. Harmful energy in any, they're just, they're guard dogs. They're not fluffy little poodles who like wear fucking clothes and mittens in the winter like you, they do in the us. So if you go to St. Lucia and you stay in a neighborhood, now, if you stay in a resort, you don't worry about that. But if you stay in a neighborhood, you need air plugs. Like if you're a light sleeper, I'm talking all night, all day. Interesting. All the time. Tons of barking. The men were just too much, much too much. I mean, they always are. I, they're, they're always too much. Let me explain. We just didn't have a moment of peace. I will give them this credit of, most of the people who go to St. Lucia are honeymooners or couples. They're staying at a bougie resort. They're staying at an all inclusive sandals and they're never leaving all week. Mind you, if you do that, you're a fucking idiot. I'm sorry. I know that's like travel. I, I'm being like a travel sno right now. If you do not go out and talk to locals, if you do not do anything but sit your ass on an all-inclusive resort, you have not been to an island. You haven't, you haven't seen shit, you haven't done shit, you haven't given back to the economy in any fucking way. You've given your money to sandals. You gotta go do something. And listen. Everybody loves a vacation where they don't have to worry about anything, and they're all inclusive, and you just go sit and hang. And there are some islands that it's actually dangerous to wander. St. Lucia is not fucking one of them. That's fair. You can go anywhere. You can go anywhere. However, when you are two single attractive 30 somethings, and we are in all the public restaurants, same beaches, we're not at the resorts, we're at all of the shit. All of the locals are right. We're we're mixed in, which is exactly what we want. We don't want to be resort people. We, we want to be in the mix. We were prime for the picking. And SRA has stunning eyeballs. I have been around a lot of beautiful people who have attracted a lot of attention in my life. I have never been around someone with such a striking feature to their face. She does have stunning eyeballs that it stops traffic because one day a man yelled into our moving vehicle from the sidewalk, oh, Jesus Christ, Every time I'm talking four or five times a day, someone comments on her eyes. Now she doesn't mind at all. She's like, oh my God. Mm, thank you. However, when you are fielding. Unnecessary attention. It does not help. So what, the last day I go, put your fucking sunglasses on. I can't live like this. You need to put your sunglasses on. It's like inviting that you're touch. Well, because they, they're already looking, looking for a chance to approach. So she locks eyes accidentally with one person with those. They're like glass blue, you guys. They're like light, light blue. The beginning of the month I was like, Hey, you know, that's really nice. You know, right by the end I, people would go, Hey, I'd go get the fuck away from us. Like I was exhausted by the end. Just one story to like put this into perspective. We went to the beach. A guy wouldn't leave s alone on the beach. He was clearly not well. I had to tell him to fuck off'cause she's nice to everyone. And I was like, please leave my friend alone. We go to a restaurant, we get cat called at the restaurant. I go to the bathroom, I get heckled on the way to the bathroom. Don't even end up going. I go back, we pay our tab, we call our cab, we go home. On the way home, we're bitching to the cab driver about we can't go anywhere. We had to pick some stuff up at the grocery store and Caer was like, I'm exhausted. And I was like, do you mind dropping her off and bringing me and then bringing me back and I'll pay you extra. And he was like, not a problem. We had been using him for two weeks straight. He was like our guy. Yeah. And so we dropped Caeser off him and I chat, it's a five minute drive to the grocery store. I go to the grocery store, a group of boys comes up to me, oh, what's your, what do you do? Blah, blah. And I was at a wine. I was at the wine section and they were like, what's your, what's your taste palette? What kind of taste you like? Not you bitch. And I, I was just like, not interested boys. They were like, well what's your name? And I go, it's none of your business. And they were like, we want it to be our business. To the point where I just, there was like probably five or six of them, I just grabbed the wine in front of me and was like, have a great night. So I walking out of the store, someone said something to me, so I get in the cab and I'm like, what is with these, like, they're so bold. Now, mind you, I have also been to places where. No means an eventual Yes. If you tell us St. Lucian to fuck off, they will. Yeah, I will give them that at the least. But we're talking about it. He's like, yeah they can be a little aggressive here, so you just have to like shut it down early. And I'm like, I don't mind doing that. What does this cab driver do? I get home and I go, s you're not gonna believe what happened at the grocery store. And she goes, well, we can't use that cab driver anymore.'cause when you were in the grocery store, he called me to hit on me. And I was, that was six hours of time, that whole, all of that. And I was just like, this is too much. The women on this island, wonderful. I want you to enjoy my island. I wanna feed you all the food. I'll make you all the drinks. Queens, we welcome you. We want to, we love our home. We wanna share it with you. I would say a lot of the men are that way too. And then except for the ones, and then they, they're nice to you and you're like, oh, we're all friendly. We're all, we're all kiking. And then someone's like, so are you single? And you're just like, why? Why can't I just plat spot talk to you? I don't wanna have sex with you. It's just not that. It's just not that hard. No. Like even the nicest guys, people who are like, oh my God, go hang out with them. They're super safe. Nothing to worry about here. 20 minutes later would be like, so, and you're like what? Don't ruin it. Don't ruin it. I had hope, I had faith. Yeah. So I will say like that, got old and our friend Alyssa, we do sugar beach a bunch of days. We do our bougie two days at a hotel that we can't afford, but we just are living it. Right? We're so happy. Then we get back to our Airbnb and now we're where the countdown begins. We're like five days away from going home and it's starting to set in, right? Like real life is about. I'm on like true vacation. I took work off and so I'm like, oh God. The back to work series, the anxiety of it all right. And we're like, at least we have the Friday night street party. We have one more Friday night street party. And so on Friday we have this beach day, we have dinner reservations and then we're gonna go out with a bang and then we leave on Sunday. And I actually booked a more expensive ticket on Sunday because I figured we would hang low on Saturday and go to the beach and then leave on Sunday. And I didn't wanna stress hangover travel day type of situation. And we're on the beach on Friday. It's like 3:00 PM The street party starts at like nine or 10 and a guy's like, there's no street party tonight. It's good Friday. No, we're a Catholic island of the 52 weeks of the year. The one not Christmas, not not any other. Not Halloween, not any holiday of the 52 Fridays the one Friday of the year. There is no Friday night street party is good. Friday it's a Catholic island. That tracks and there was no fucking street party and there was nowhere open. They shut everything down and we were like, not the way the good Lord intended it. Yeah. So there was a little bit, not to use a disgusting boy term, but there was definitely some blue balls about it of like, oh, we really, you were amped up. Yeah. We wanted to go out with a bang, but I was like, we just have to come back. Like we just have to come back. You didn't know that last Friday would be last. Yeah. We, if I had known, I would've pussy popped harder last week. Like I didn't know. But I would, even with all of that, even with the dogs and the men in the missing, the missing, the last Friday night street party, I would go back in a heartbeat. It has all the island vibes that you want. They love coffee. They love chocolate. They have like big chocolate making classes. That's fun. Amazing ice cream, beautiful views, boat days. We did a like eight hour boat day where we got to go to the south of the island and we went to a waterfall. We did mud baths, and then they take you snorkeling and it's like open bar rum punch you on a catamaran. Like just. Ridiculous. So we're at this beach on the store, clean trip, right. And a bunch of people are on the beach, and the waters were so rough that the, the guys on the boat were swimming out and helping people back on the boat. That's how rough. And I'm a really good swimmer. I needed help. Like it was, these waves were huge. And so we needed, we're needing help getting back on the boat right there. And I'm just treading water and it's finally my turn. And a guy comes in and grabs my arm. Now the water is going up the stairs. So the stairs are super slippery. So I'm going up the stairs and I fall and I'm holding onto the rails, but my feet are slipping down at the same time. Like, and like the guy pulling everyone on hears me falling No. Immediately throws his arm out and smacks my ass so hard. We both gasped. And he was like, I am. So he was like, I, I was just trying. And I go, buy me a drink first. Why don't you? And he was like, and I go, you were literally trying to stop the momentum. Like I would've fallen Yeah. Ass over. He slapped my ass. We both were like. It was, I would've been like, thank you. Just to feel something. Yeah. Oh, here it is. She's still straight everybody. Oh no. But we just had the best time. Like even the dogs waking me up in the morning, it got me in this like beautiful morning routine of getting up and having my Celsius on the balcony and reading at like 6:00 AM in the morning. Like I won't do that here. No, fuck not. I don't have that view or that ba. Do you know what I mean? Like Yeah. You do have a view of what? Of what? The bathtub next door. That outside. Oh my god. Bridge's neighbors have a bathtub outside. Listen, no, like I'm talking like cloth, bathtub. Don't even get me started in the backyard. But you know what I mean? Like you just live and every parent, especially mothers are gonna roll their eyes at this. I would go to bed genuinely tired. Like when you're single and you, you live like I do, right? When you go to bed, you're fucking on around on your phone for two hours and time is flying by and you're like, oh look, it's 1230 at night and I'm wide awake. Yeah, we were going to bed at 10 o'clock'cause we were exhausted and our eyes were shutting because we were outside every day and walking around and meeting new people and doing stuff. Like doing the things. Yeah. Truly living our like lit things. And then I come home and I sit on my couch. But I loved it. I can't recommend it enough. Even with all the crappy things I said about men. It was wonderful. 10 outta 10. Are you depressed to be home? I mean, I, no. Yes and no. Like, yes in the way. I am just an island. I know sounds She's an island queen. I was just gonna say, this sounds so white. I just, I love being on an island. I love being by the sand, by the ocean. I the sea, whatever type of body of water. I love being in the sun. I love walking around. I love a good view. I love living abroad. I just do, it's, it fuels my soul. But yeah, there are moments where I'm like, I'm missing out on Danni and Claire's life. Yeah. And like, I'm missing them growing up. Even if I'm gone for a month, like Danny started T-Ball, like I wanna go to, I wanna go to the T-Ball stuff or you know, Claire did something at school. You wanna sleep in Omo? Yeah. You wanna sleep in your own bed, you wanna do your laundry. You wanna like have all your comforts. One day we were hungover and we ordered KFC because KFC is a big deal in St. Lucia. Interesting. We were on a street with no street name, so. Amen. I have to give him directions over the phone. Amen. Bicycled. To us. KFC is this DoorDash? And I was like, I They have no, no, they don't have Uber. You have to pay cash for a lot of shit. Like how did you get KFC there? I had to call the restaurant, pay with a card, and then send them directions. And then when they got close, they would call me and I would give them further directions. And I was like, to just be able to Uber Eats. Right now, the way we take this for granted, no, literally in any food under the sun that you could imagine can just be delivered to your door it's also first world problems, right? You're, you did this yourself. Yeah. We sound crazy. Yeah. We, we sound utterly ridiculous. There were years I didn't have DoorDash for Uber Eats and I would be a pick, I was a pickup girl. Yeah. Imagine, imagine the world we live in. And then, I don't know, the day I downloaded it was the day the music died, as they say, in a dark. It was literally a dark day for me. And I didn't realize it until now. They've never turned back. You know, what's rude that they give you like a, a conclusion? What the fuck am I trying to say? A if you go on your app, it tells you like everything, all the time in a, like it's, I don't need to see my past orders. That is like none of my business. Oh yeah. I'll never forget a summary. Sorry. One time Yeah. A summary. One time I ordered Regina's also really quick shut out to one of my best friend's, Valerie, who Oh yeah. Found out everything going on with Colleen's family and Venmo me so that I could order dinner for us tonight. And it was lovely valerie, we ate Regina's tonight also. They have a loyalty program. It's new and I'm joining it. Everyone remain calm. Remain calm. Thanks Val. Love you, you sweet angel, sweet girl. That sausage pizza hit different tonight. And the meatballs and the, the garlic bread, it just slapped all around. I, one time ordered Regina's and it told me I'm one of their top customers and was like, you've, or I forget the amount. And I was like, that is not the type of negativity I need in my life. No, you don't have to tell me how many times I've ordered Regina's to know that I order there often, like mind a business. So there's an icebreaker. You know how I love an icebreaker? I had no idea. Wench. One of the icebreakers is what a, what is a statistic you would know about yourself if you could? So how many steps you've ever taken in your life, or how many people you've ever met or whatever in someone. I'll never forget it.'cause I ask this in corporate settings a lot and people will go like, how many miles I've hiked? And I'm like, kill myself. And someone said, how many slices of pizza I've ever eaten? And I was like, no, you're a masochist. No, you're, that's fucking crazy. To me, someone was like, how many balls of wine I've ever drank? Why do you wanna feel bad? Is that, is that what you're seeking out to do? I would like to know how many tequila sodas I've ingested. Why? But what would, what would that do? What would that information do? If I found out the number? No, I'd be impressed with myself, not ashamed. I'd be like, yeah, look at me. Go. Mm, mm-hmm. Just saying, I would like to know how many people I've met, but I also wanna know how they all overlap. Like, I want a, a map of the world and I wanna see who I've met and where, and if they know each other, like how it all kind of intertwines. Interesting. My brain wouldn't even go there. Yeah. I think that's mine. We need to talk about all the things that we have watched since we last saw each other. Because so much television has happened. It's too much, actually. It's overstimulating. You know what I forgot to tell you? Tell me. I, well, actually, I dunno if I told you or not, but I didn't tell the people. I saw Harrison from Love Island in Jackson Hole twice. Oh yes. Twice. I saw one months at the airport and I'm like, whack ass beautiful. That like an influencer would wear. So that's how you knew it was like somebody, and then Aaron's like, wait a minute. And then I saw him at the bar, at the mountain, the skiing mountain. I was like, Hey, okay sir. I stared at him a lot, but I star he's beautiful. He is, he is. He looked way better in person, honestly. That makes sense. Because he wasn't like giving like douche, but he was giving douche baggy kind of on the show. Like, I'm a, I sell gold and like had look like was wearing earrings and shit. Like no, he was way more like normal looking love that he was giving more like average. Joe. Can I also tell you really fun fact sidebar about St. Lucia. They love old country. Like they do all the line dances and they, and I'm not talking like Kenny Chesney. I'm talking like Conway fucking Twitty. That's, they're, they're getting down with the old country in St. Lucia. I love old country. Can I tell you a thing that I didn't know happens? What? So I have my first bikini tan line of my adult life. Gasp. Actual gasp. Who is she Wanna know something really rude that I did not know. You have to turn still because, like a rotisserie chicken. Yeah, because. I am not the skinny where you can just lay front and lay back and expect all the sides to be tan. You have to like awkwardly lay on your side to get the side of your body. Oh p posh. So there's more on my front and my back than there are on my sides. So if you see me in in some sort of bikini and you're like, wow, her sides are pale, mind your fucking business wouldn't even notice. Have never even thought to do that. Okay. What did you watch? My favorite thing that I've watched in the last two months is to munch two Munch. Two munch two months is the pit. This t television show has consumed me, Dr. Robbie forever. It is nothing like Grey's Anatomy. It is nothing like any medical drama you have ever watched. It is one shift of this man in all of his coworkers, in all of their personalities and the types of things they see in its 15 episodes. And every episode is a different hour. It will consume you. Okay. I, I can't think about anything else. I won't talk about anything else the pit has taken over my whole life. You need to be in the right head space though. Trigger warning for literally fucking everything. It's an ER for 15 hours. So just like keep in mind what they see in fucking credible. I can't wait to watch every season from now to Kingdom come. Okay. Adding it to the list. You go now. The list is never ending, Julie. I know. We'll go back and forth. Well, I don't really have a favorite. These are just like the, like, you know, it take, it's a lot for me to watch something new. Like I have to return to my old because I'm mentally ill. Gross Garden Society. Have you seen that on Peacock? No. It's literally how I, who the fuck is on Peacock? Me bitch. Other than Love Island and traitors. What the fuck is on Peacock? Everything. Like what? Southern Fra lies sick. All right. But tell me about your show. It's basically like, I had a Get Away With Murder, which you watched, right? Oh, Viola Davis. She's not in it, but however the other girl is in it. I forget her name of, is it a spinoff? It must be because it's giving same director and Connor's in it. And then Mikayla, Connor and McKayla are both in it. And Anna, Sophia, Rob, and it's probably couple other people that you would know, but I wouldn't because I just am not Is it Shondaland? Is it Shonna? Rimes? No, it's not. I don't think. I don't really know. But it's basically a gardens, it's a garden group. A small town and a garden group and a murder. Oh, I know what you're talking about. I know what you're talking about. It's so good and so cute. Such an easy watch. Yep. There has to be a season two because it's like not resolved, so. Oh yeah. They leave it on a cliff hanger. Yeah, it's really good. Big fan. Okay. I have survival of the thickest. I don't understand how I am so late to this party. I have no idea why. What is that? It's on Netflix. It's Michelle Buto. It is so funny. It's so cute. It's heartwarming. It is just what the people need and want and deserve. It's perfect. I love it. I love it so much. Okay. That's all. Haven't heard of it? Haven't seen it. I'm new here. Perfect. As one is ransom Canyon. Yeah, you told me to watch that the other day when I was being the cryp keeper.'cause it's an easy watch. So that's why I was like, oh my God, watch it while you're there. I just don't, everything feels like a knockoff of Yellowstone. Oh, this was like PG 13 high school Yellowstone. I don't love like YA stuff. Fair. Do you know what I'm, it's giving YA, it's giving. See I do. I love it. Oh, okay. So, but, but I completely understand like an easy watch. Something that's, you know, yeah. Bingeable, all that they're making. Remember how I, with that phase, where I love like a hockey smart book, but it was like guilty pleasure. Yeah. They're making an an Amazon series on one of them and it's like, not like a, a thing that only I would know. Like it's literally all over the talk, you know? Is it Jawbreaker or whatever that one is. No, I do love that one though. But it's like a, a series of like five books and they're making it into a show. Horrible casting already. Oh geez. I'm so, I hate what they do. It. People are outraged. The people. It's an, it's an L Kennedy set. Oh, okay. I think I know what you're talking about. The people are quaking about it. They're not happy. It's just like this, this guy's supposed to be pale with red hair. Like that's all they talk about throughout the whole fucking thing. And this guy has a black long curly hair. What the fuck are we doing the deal? Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Horrible books in theory. I mean, I just, unless they diet, I guess. No, I mean no. Or is he going as is? He's like tan. It's very strange. Anyways, but the people are quaking in the comments, so I know I'm not crazy off campus. Yeah. Book one. Yeah. Okay. Very ick, but like, also like guilty pleasure. Like I would read them over again. They scratch it, they scratch an itch. They make me feel something. Okay. Ransom Canyon. I liked it. I love Minka. I think she's a baddie. Oh, love Minka Kelly. And what's his name? Josh. Mel. Oh, haughty forever. So did you watch her or no? No. Okay. That was my question.'cause you were like, I hate so I was like, oh. Did you watch her? No, I haven't started yet, but I'm, I'm not opposed, I just haven't. Yeah, no, it's like, put a far down the list. Something crazy, but yeah. The residence. So this is also on Netflix. It's about a murder at the White House. Oh, it's, it's excellent. I downloaded all the e episodes so that when I traveled home I had a layover in Charlotte. And so I was like, I have a long day ahead of me. I'm just gonna download one show and watch it. And it's them trying, it's a murder mystery within the White House. It's Shonda Rhimes always. There are twists, there are turns. You think it's one person, then you think it's another person. It does wrap up in a bow. And I actually saw that they. Redid the entire making of the White House and not just where the rooms go, but like this room has this furniture in it and this painting in it, like a full replica replica of the fucking White House. So it's a very inter, I mean, it's just so cool. It's obviously a space that not a lot of people get into. And it's a murder mystery, so a very who done it, but like light and funny, weirdly, I love, do you know what I mean? Done it. I didn't. A who? Same. Same. That's why I love Glass Onion. The, or I, I should say I love Knives Out. I like the first one better than the second one. Oh, I didn't like love the second one. Right. But I will do anything for Captain Kathryn Han. It was getting farfetched, so I would die for Katherine Hanh. So same the Karen Reed trial documentary. It's next on my list. Okay. Then let's talk about it. Oh God. What are your thoughts? Okay, so I, my thoughts were, before I watched the do, I knew obviously all of that information majority, but like some, I was like, they put it out so well, in my opinion, of being indifferent of both ways. Like you really can have Yeah. Seeing both sides. Yeah. It wasn't like someone that was favoring one or the other. Yeah. Yeah. I think I, it was nice to have all the information actually splayed and flowed correctly. Like, I was just really happy to have it in a one stop shop because I, for a while I was like, every day was something new and I couldn't keep up. Yeah. And I liked having all at once and, and I don't know. And I hate her so deeply that I just don't care if she goes to jail. Like I, I find her so unlikeable. Yeah. Guilty or not, I don't like, obviously that's really shitty. If they're doing this to her and she's in fact innocent, but also like, I just find her so deeply unlikeable. There are so many sketchy things happening around this trial in the sense of like, there are so many sketchy things that happened on that night, and what I hate about true crime outside of that, it's sensationalized. And then we usually just focus on the killer versus the victims. Right? Yeah. And then the killer gets a documentary and it's like his poor mother, his poor fuck, his niece and nephew and his brother. How, how about those kids I know who lost both of their fucking parents and he takes them and then him, no questions asked, and then he's killed. He's killed a massive billboard for him on 93 in Dorchester. It should be focused around him. It should be justice for him and his family and his, his poor mother sitting in that courtroom. If you watch any footage of her, it breaks your fucking heart. Yeah. The poor lady, if they can convict her, I will lose faith in the justice system. I agree. I do not believe that without a reasonable doubt, there is enough evidence to convict her in a court of law period. Everyone in this story is unlikeable. There is not a, from Jen McCabe to the, the dog, to the rug getting ripped up to the house, getting sold under, under value very quickly to them taking the phones and taking the fucking back. Every single person in this story is sketchy and unfuck likable, except for John. Also Why? And it's awful. It's just an awful fucking story. And it's, they're all, I don't think they'll ever figure out what actually really happens. I don't think they will either. I, I don't think they will either. I am from the beginning just grossed out, not grossed out, but like, not understanding. Sasha have never seen grown ass adults, even though we are adults. Drink in such a, a way and like have an after party at like an absurd hour of the evening up. Yeah. And like the, the butt dials. Oh, you just butt dial. Yeah. People, multiple times in the middle of the night while you're asleep, you just like do that and you just drive home. Like I just, the, the whole concept of them like doing that on a regular basis is gross thing. Well, the normalizing of like the, you know, they counted how many drinks she had and then she said, oh, it wasn't that much. And they were all shit house and just driving around because unfortunately they can. Yeah. They're not gonna get in trouble. The girl I went to college with, one of the girls that's been on the stand a bunch and she, they, the way they're ripping her apart on Twitter is actually so horrifying. Like the poor girl. Not that like, I mean like, I just think she's, whatever she says on the stand is honestly stupid. Like she shouldn't have opened her mouth. But, if I was at a party at like my family, friend's home and like, this is what happened to me and I was getting ripped apart the way she is on Twitter. I dunno what I would do. People have not been kind to anyone in this trial. No. It was the girl that said the blob. I would call I college with her. Oh, she saw blo. Yeah. The, the, if you don't know what we're, if you're not from Boston, everybody in New England is talking about it. Please go look it up and, and make your own assumptions. But as someone who's from here, I'm disgusted with this, the police department, I'm disgusted with Karen Reid. She's like, oh yeah, I was drunk and I'm upset the fucking voicemail she's leaving him. No, no, I would never speak to that. But it's not a sane way. It's on a, a healthy way to treat any partner and who knows how he spoke to her. I'm not also hers talking to, what's his name? Brian Higgins. And her being like, we were dating, we weren't married. What? I'm sorry. Are we allowed to just dittle and say whoever to whatever, when you're just dating somebody? No, this is what I mean. And you know, the, the investigator saying, I haven't found any nudes yet. Yeah. He said some gross shit. She's a cunt and she needs to go kill herself. No ass. Or something like that. Yeah. She has no ass and she has a horrible accent or whatever the fuck he says. Fall river accent, which is actually hilarious. But yeah. Fall as if yours is much fucking better. My guy. You know what I mean? Jen McCabe, like just a, a entire group of unlikeable people who are given a spotlight. And to me at least, it's being sensationalized and the pers the actual victim in his family are being kind of shunted aside. Yeah. For, for the sensationalism. So she can like write a memoir. Her people, like her fans are deeply unwell. Now. I think there are also people who are sick of dealing with corruption. Yeah. And they've had enough of it. And they're there. If you're not from Massachusetts and you drove to Massachusetts to stand outside Karen Reed's trial and hold up a sign like, free Karen Reed, you're a fucking freak. You, you need to go touch some grass. You need to find a hobby. You, you need to like call a family member. And if you don't have one, make a friend. It's, it's insanity. This is insanity. They are all awful. Yeah, no, I, I almost didn't even bring it up.'cause every single time you have an opinion about it and you're from this area, someone like. Yeah. Rips your face off in, they're either pro-police or pro Karen Reed. They're, they all suck and someone's still dead. So Yeah, it doesn't matter either way. If, if you're, if you're driving, if you told me either way, I'd be like, okay. Like, that's fair. But like, if you're driving your phone to an Army base to dump it because you smash the, all the battery in the same car or whatever he did, I, I, I'm, I'm sorry. We need to look into that. We'll probably never find out what was on that phone. No. Or any of their phones or what happened in that basement or what happened with that dog. Did he go inside the house? Did he not go inside the house? Did she hit him with the car? Did she nod, hit him with the car? Who knows. I mean, if she, she was in also in no state to remember, to her to be like, I didn't hit him. I'm like, you don't know that. Like, you have to stop. You know what I mean? Like, I, so that's the other thing is you're putting people on the witness stand who were 11 drinks in. Yeah. And now I'm exaggerating a little bit here, but you guys get it. Like you're putting blackout drunk people on the stand right now. Expect them. No one in that house. Waking up is like, doesn't sit well either. The butt dials, what the fuck are you talking about? And Jen McCabe, she, she googled how long to die in the cold. Yeah. Or something to that effect. But like, how is spelled HOS Right. So the, the big thing here, right, is it initially popped up at like, around 2:00 AM 2 27, 2 20 7:00 AM she, she Googles this thing right? In the last hearing, they said they had a guy come in who said, if you open up a tab and you Google something right? And then you never shut it out. Like you never swipe up and close it from your apps. Right. And go away with it. That's not what I'm trying to say. No, but that makes sense. The the people will get it. And then you, you open, the same tab is open when you wake up at six 30 in the morning and you go to type into it, it will still say 2 27, which is so stupid Apple. So she's saying, I didn't do that at 2 27. I did that the next day when we found him because Karen was screaming, I I how long to die in the cold at 2:27 AM That's a wild coincidence. If that was the reasoning and the poor guy died of head drama in hypothermia and if someone had simply called the cops if and when he was injured at two 30 in the morning, he would still be here. I truly believe that. For sure. And it's just awful. The whole thing is awful and ain't right man. There should be an entire investigation into this investigation, which it sounds like there is. I was gonna say there definitely is. Yeah. So either way the documentary was great. It's on HBO, it's five episodes. If you wanna go watch it. It was slay if you asked me, let us DM us your thoughts. I would love to hear other people's thoughts on this case because it's a fucking doozy. The long Bright River, did you watch that? What long Bright River? What the fuck is that? It's either on Peacock or HBO Max. I can't remember off the top of my head. It's Amanda Sifri. It's she's a cop. It's a mystery. Oh. I actually, I, I think it's a book. Her sister's an addict. Yes. Yeah. Yes. I think it's a book, but it's really good. You would like it? Would I Or would I be true with it? No, you actually would really like it. It's not like traumatizing or anything. Me, Erin and Fiona watched it. We loved it. Okay, cool. It love that. It gives an ending where it goes either way, if you like it or not, but like, do it that way you will. Okay. Black Mirror, I hate it. So I normally don't watch Black Mirror. I'm not into scary, spooky life is, turns out as scary enough. I don't actually need anything to frighten me more. And so, when we were in St. Lucia, SRA is obsessed with black marriage. She was like, I'm either gonna go binge this by myself in my room, or we could watch it together. And I was like, I'll give it a shot. This season was the least scariest of all of them. SRA was kind of like, oh, that was not, I don't understand the concept. So each episode is different and each episode is meant to be kind of like a mind fuck. The first episode is with Rashida Jones and Chris O'Dowd. He's the cop in Bridesmaids. Oh, okay. I have not stopped thinking about it since, and people have seen it know exactly what I'm talking about. Of course, the Issa Rae episode with the old timey movie situation. I've, I've thought about that one. I've, I've thought about a bunch of them, but the Rashida Jones and Chris Oad, one like keeps popping up in my brain. It really fucked my shit up. All right. But not, not as scary as it's been in last seasons. Very doable. I enjoyed it. I did not. I was like, I'm gonna go to bed and have nightmares. And I, it was not that bad. No man's loves it, which is crazy'cause he doesn't like that shit. Hates it. Like, loves a rom-com over a scary movie. Like, gets pissed that I like scary movies. Doesn't believe in ghosts also. That's a problem. I feel deeply connected to this man that, I dunno, but he likes it, so that means I'll have to give it a whirl, I guess. Because if he's watching it like, like are you kidding? You hate that shit and therefore I have to watch it. Yeah. Naturally. It's more at my alley, not yours. Bitch. Bitch, bitch. I started Four Seasons. That one, so that's the last on my list is four season. Okay, then you go then, because I didn't, I haven't finished it yet. I'm obsessed with Coleman Domingo. I've always been obsessed with Coleman Domingo. He brings it at the Met. He brings it on every red carpet. He was so stunning this year at the Met. I'm just obsessed with him when he's like, this place is awful. I hate it. Here. Get me outta here. I just relate to him so much. Like there were so many good one-liners that came from him. Steve Carell and Tina Faye are aging like a fine wine. Honestly. Also Will Forte is aging very well. I, no, I loved it. There were, it just felt real. It just felt like we were part of their lives. Yeah. In, in a weird way. And I, I am excited for more seasons to come. So Erica, her name is Erica. In real life there is a girlfriend involved. Okay. She was Katie Heron in the Mean Girls the musical Oh. Is how I then saw her. Yes. I thought, I was thinking we were like getting Yes, yes. Steve Crow's girlfriend. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And she is so unlikable. Yeah. But she brings to them to the, like the composting. I haven't gotten there yet. Hotel. Oh my God. Oh no. Yes, I have. Yes I have. Sorry. And Coleman Domingo and his, his husband, or I believe they're married, but boyfriend, whoever it is, and they did, they like run That is you. That is for if I was staying. And he's like, oh my God, I love it. He turns around, he's like, I fucking hate it here. That is me. That's me trying to sleep out doors. No. Get me to the luxury resort. And they're walking on the beach with I mean, walking onto the resort, like sneaking their way. Thank you so much. We have no hands because they're, they have two. They're filled with drinks. They're double fisting. Yes. Please get this door for us. We have no hands. Thank you so much. We wrote the key in the room. Yeah. It's just, I love them so much. And I love Tina Fey. I love the whole cast, honestly. My last one is a documentary. I started on Hulu because my mom finally updated her Hulu. So I can, I'm back on the H. On the H on the H, yeah. Southern Fried Lies. It was on there. You brought this up earlier and I was like, what the fuck is this shit? This is different than what you were watching on Peacock. But it's, it is, I can confirm it is on both, but I can't remember which one. Cool. It's probably Peacock though.'cause I'm always, I always go for like the Peacock. Documentary of like a murder fraud situation in some like, wicked small, like back ass southern Arkansas town. Like the talk like this, lemme tell you, he's not a good person like it is. Oh yeah. No, it's crazy. You just have to, I haven't finished it yet, so I don't, I don't know the end of it, but so far it's really good. Okay, great. Love that. Give it a, give it a whirl journey. I feel like I need a good documentary in that, in this bitch. Okay. I haven't felt anything since Mother, God, that, I'm not kidding you. Sometimes I'm awake at night and I'll think of her blue body and I, she's ascending and I will get tremors. It's Robin Williams. You guys. I feel like I'm ascending right now. It's Robin Williams speaking through our mother. Every time I meet someone that hasn't seen it, I'm like, no, I will watch it with you. You, you need to sit the fuck down and it's experience. And I need to watch your reaction while I watch the this. Yes. I totally agree. That's all I had in terms of shows. Okay. I have not finished the book yet. Atar. Uhuh. I'm like not even interested in math. You don't like Nesta and you can't get on onboard? No. I fucking can get past Nesta. What part are you at? I don't, I'm like, not even. Oh, you're not even invested. No, I haven't touched it in weeks. Dang. Yeah, it's tough. It's really tough. I also just miss my, I just kind of miss my Kindle also, so I keep making excuses. Can I tell you something? Sia and I say to each other when we bring up like any minor inconvenience. What? Toughest battles? No. Yeah. It really is hard for me. Toughest battles, strong soldiers. I have to turn on the light to read the book. Like, no, that's just not something I wanna do. Toughest battles. I miss my Kenny. Ew, whatever that was. I never want you to say it again. I miss my kit. Yikes. I miss her. Okay. And she misses me. Okay. Where is she? She's in the drawer.'cause I borrowed your real book. Okay. Then fucking buy it like a normal fucking person and read it the way that you want to read it. I'm poor. I don't work two jobs to have to do that. Ugh. Eye roll. Instead, I wanna buy clothes. Oh, stop. Let me live my life I have things I need to talk about that aren't TV show related. Okay. Shoot. Do you have anything or no? No, go ahead. Okay, cool. We need to talk about the pope one. The pope is dead. Diva down. Diva is down. Do we need to new Pope, Pope Leo? No, he's a sleigh for sure. Chicago. Chicago. Someone put Midwestern princess like, like chapel roads. Midwestern. I fucking, the memes that have come out, the internet is 12 outta 10 during these times. Undefeated? No. Every time must we put the pope in a box and cascade him? His corpse like that? Yes. That's kind of their shtick. Like can we just like not, there is nothing. Let the man be in peace. There's nothing they enjoy more than the drama. No, but at the same time it's like I can't really say anything'cause like. Would I want that as well, kind of. Dude, the Catholics are so fucking dramatic. You've heard Erin talk about it. It's like the noises and the smells that everyone must be weeping. It's so extra. No, it is. I was actually talking about the drama of the Catholics the other day because my friend had texted about, oh, Bria was Brianna. She had texted about her new Bebe's baptism. She doesn't have like an actively religious family and I only know anything because of my way too many years of Catholic school. So she's like, yeah, his baby shower. And I was like, his who's baby shower? I was like, for who? I was like, do you mean, and then someone finally was like, do you mean his baptism? Because it's coming. Like she was saying, oh, June, whatever is gonna be his baby shower. Yeah. And we were like, his And I go, are you referring to him getting dunked? Like I'm confused. Then she's like, yeah, yeah, whatever it is. And she, and someone was like, oh, isn't that when you wear like all white? And I was like, no, no, no gang. That's when in the, that's in the second or the third grade. And then you go and you get like blessed and you wear all white in like a tiara. It's called a communion. And then, yeah. And then you get eat the body of Christ, right, which is a wafer, right. And then stale. They're like, what about the one that's like in high school and like, you forgive your sins or whatever. And I'm like, confirmation. And then having to explain it. I'm like, this is, you have to go to class. This is, you have to go to confirmation class. You can't even just show up. You gotta, you gotta study and pick a name. No, it's absurd. But like to say it out loud to somebody else who doesn't understand that we sound fucking insane. What's your confirmation name? Bridget, I think, or Bridged saying, Bridget, it's my name. Well, it's bridged, but yeah. Same concept I guess. Bitch, why have you never told me that? I don't think.'cause it technically isn't bridged. It's bridged. B-R-I-G-I-D St. Bridged. She's a stop. You're just trying to be me. She's a batty. You would skin me and wear me as a coat. She's a baddie. Your dad was my sponsor. Yeah. That makes sense. Yeah. Did he help you into the world of the Lord? No, but he did giggle really funny jokes the whole time when I did not wanna be there. Yeah. That, that tracks. That tracks. I actually don't remember what my confirmation name was. Maybe it was Erin. No, I know Erin's was Barbara because of our grandmother. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, do you know what mine was? Maeve. Oh, that's cute. Because my cousin Mave, we share a middle name and she chose Bridget. So our like quote unquote three names are the same but in opposite order. That's cute. Yeah. And I was her sponsor and her mother was my sponsor. Adorable sleigh. I'm like, where did we did were we pick our sponsors as like somebody who was like of guidance.'cause like I'm thinking Yeah, they were supposed to be someone to guide your life. Your native, that's. Yeah, I was Patrick's too. My cousin Patrick, who I love, he chose the name Elmo and you have to put your hand on their shoulder. And the priest asked you, you know, what name are they taking? And they don't say, you do like the Yeah, the sponsor does. And so I whispered it. He was like, huh. And I was like, it's Elmo. And our family started dying laughing. I was like, I wanna be lit on fire. Stayed almost fire. Here we come. But yeah, he chose Elmo and I had to announce it in front of an entire church in Charlestown. Oh my God. God. Blessed dude. Yeah, it was very funny. Catholics are fucked up, man. Like Catholics are wild. Yeah, but having to regurgitate it crazy. We got new Pope Slay. Pope Leo seems like a great guy. Great local guy. Ugh, we'll see. We shall see the Met. I'm so over the mat. Everyone looks like shit except for Sophia Richie. I disagree. Totally. I think, yeah, I like a hundred percent disagree with you. I am over it, in the sense that I am over overindulgence of celebrities. I just don don't get it. Just the sensationalism of them when it's like they're kids that need to eat. I think that's why I'm just unbothered. There's such a, the gap gets bigger every day of like the rich and the rest of us. And I'm, I'm just kind of sick of seeing it now. What I will say about the Met right, is it's actually a fundraiser. Oh. And so every ticket, so that's a museum that the costumes, all that is goes to the Museum of the Met. And so that's why the tickets are like$75,000 a person, right? Yeah. But not everyone has to pay for a ticket because each table is bought out by a designer or a company. So if you are, if you always saw someone in Michael Kors and then they go and they're dressed as Tom Brown, it's because Tom Brown got a table and they asked that celebrity to sit at that table. And that's why they're wearing a different designer. And that's why you don't see like fucking express on the red carpet. You only see these like massive,'cause they bought a table and the tables are like, I think it's somewhere around like$350,000 Silly. An Anna Wintour. Has she's, she actually doesn't run it. She has massive sway over who gets invited and who does not Of course. And like what the theme is and whatever. But it's run by like a team of people and it's all to give back to this museum. So like that aspect of it, I can get behind and I actually love the fashion of it. Like I thought, I think it's Coco Jones was probably my favorite of the whole night. I thought Zoe sell. Daniel looked great. I loved do Doci. I thought did you see her flipping the fuck out? Yeah. About the umbrellas? Yeah. No. Yeah, not about it. Yeah. I thought Zendaya, who I think can do no wrong, I thought she looked incredible, but it just wasn't enough. And then someone else ended up coming and it looked like they were wearing the same exact thing. Yeah. But I love La Roach. Like I love what they do. I love that her, when she goes on a press tour, all of the outfits are like, lean into the movies. She's, I think she is fucking brilliant. I love Zendaya. I don't even care that it wasn't enough. I thought she's was perfect. But I agree with you. It's, it's almost too, it's too much. It's too much. It's the fashion's over the top. It's meant to be. I thought I, I think I am just getting more desensitized to celebrities. Disenchanted with celebrities as the time goes on. Just do anything. Do something, give. There are billions of dollars out there and there are like fucking teachers who are scraping by to get essentials for their classroom. Like, it just doesn't make any sense to me, the world we live in right now. But I won't go down that rabbit hole. All I'll say is I agree with you in some ways, and I don't in others, I just like when people repost, like someone's like, look and they're like, wow, love. I'm like, do like, okay. Like what the fuck are they wearing? Sophia? Richie though loved it could never do wrong. It's because it's the most like, not simple, but like the most normal looking. That's the only reason why I said that. Yeah. It's not meant to be normal looking though. It's meant to be like the Met Gala isn't for playing it safe. That's what like the fucking Oscars are for where you just go. Classic. Oh yeah, she looks stunning. She always does, but she looks absolutely stunning. The Katy Perry of it all, is she okay? Again, out of touch. Celebrities. There's no need. Do not understand how like people are out here scraping by to, to get rent paid and she's out here like why didn't the entire country think it was cute that I brought a daisy to space for 11 minutes? That's so weird or however long they were up there. I, I don't remember how much time it was. I don't know. Even like her videos of, I mean like I've been seeing video clips of her concerts. I'm like, what is going on? What are people paying for? Yeah. I'm not a huge fan of Katy Perry. I don't dislike her. I think she's wicked fucking weird. I dislike her for sure. I do not get it. No, not a fan. It's a no for me. But that, that entire, like women going to space for 11 minute thing, they thought they were transforming the world. They were like, this will leave the people stunned in quaking. It like didn't even look like they were doing anything. Like, I dunno how to explain it. Like you would've told me that was fake. I'd be like, no. It was it Gail. Gail looked pissed. Gail was like, what the fuck am I doing here? But I just, I think they're just so outta touch. I just think they're people who are like, why don't people love this? It's giving submersible. It's giving submersible. That's what it is. Yeah, you're, no, you're right. You're right. It's like, hello. People can't afford fucking eggs when we, when we are all happy and living a great life. That spaceship, that old thing. Very cute. So fun. Ladies, you pop off in your fucking space suits. Let's not forget. Xenon did it first. Yeah, bitches. But anyway, just as you know what I mean? Like when we're all happy and having a good time and can afford our bills, that's cute. That is not the case right now. You just, you just look ridiculous. And that's how I feel. And that's the tea. I agree. I don't know if other people feel the same way, let me know. No, I can't imagine. I think the people will always agree with us no matter what we say. I don't know about that, Colleen. No, I don't. I think you're fucking delusional. Delusional. Or just speak the truth. What people don't wanna, it's her. And made that at, I say what the people don't wanna say. I'm a woman of the people. Is that your real Housewives tagline? I should be the Pope. Jesus Christ. I'm not just for the girls. You would walk, I'm for the people. You would walk into the Sistine Chapel and literally light on fire. Actually, the first time I went to Rome and I went to the Vatican, I walked out. I was probably 23, 24 years old. I was with my best friend Jessie from college, and we walked out and I got my period so bad and I was like, this has to mean something. You're getting shunned something. I, I walked in feeling fine and I left with cramps and I was like, it's a strike. So is a mess here. It's a strike from above. Smite me almighty s top as Bruce Almighty would say, I wrote this and I'm really not sure what I'm referring to, but like I feel like it's'cause I saw something that pissed me off. Jojo. See what? I'm confused. So therefore, yeah. Is she like dating somebody or something? So, okay. So, I don't know too much about this, but I know the guy from Love Island. He's from one of my all time favorite Love Island UK seasons, which is season three. I'm just not, not, he, they were apparently on a reality TV show together, I believe. Big Brother. And they were like, so who's she paying to be honest shit on top of each other during the show that people were like, is Georgia CIBA straight? And then they went to like a wrap party and she broke up with her girlfriend at the party. Dude, she needs a therapist. Something is happening. The Nader sisters are getting a show. I just like don't like them for some reason. What, who are they? Brooks Nader from Dancing With Stars, she's the model, like the model model with Gleb Brooks Nader. Oh, okay. Yeah, they're dating her. They're getting a show. Like, why you don't deserve a show. I deserve a show. Okay, well listen, we deserve a show, Bridget. I look, I've been saying that forever for the record. Tiger King Joe. Exotic. What about him? He got married to a fellow inmate. He got married in jail. Get the fuck out of here. If he can get married in jail, we can do anything. Bridget, are you joking? No, I swear. He, I think went to jail for like immigration crimes. But do it that way. You will Better than murder if you ask me. Oh my God. Tiger King's show exotic has married fellow prison inmate. On Tuesday, April 22nd, he tied the knot with Jorge Marquez. Shut the fuck up. Is there any footage of this? He shared a photo on X of himself. Oh, I don't have, I don't have Twitter. Get out of here. Wait, this feels very CGI i'd. This feels incorrect. Incorrect. This feels Summit. Aright. We'll post it so you guys can see it. Summit. Aright. Give it a good goog search. Al and her sister's pod. Have you listened? I feel like you would like it. No, but I love them. I know, I, I, the clips that I do see of it, I, I am a big fan. I haven't listened. I also saw the clips and they made me think of you and I wanted to tell you, that's why I put this here. Oh, that's nice. Thank you. I'm over Alex Earl and her sister. What do they actually bring to the table? Nothing. They're very hot. Hate that you don't get all these things because you're hot. It's annoying. Yeah. Time. I feel, I mean, I do think that there are some influencers out there who do good things. do you know brand, brand flakes? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he's in Philly and he's out here like on brand trips. And then he comes home and he's like, saving Philly businesses, small businesses, black owned businesses. I'm like, that's what I want these, these people to do. Just like, do some, give back in some fucking way. I don't know where we lost that along the way of like, we just, we make it for ourselves, but how about, how about we give back to the community? How about we help people out? People need it right now. You know what I mean? That's how I feel. All right. You get a platform, fucking use it for some good. Go get drunk. Go do your thing. That's fine. You don't have to use every scent that you have, but just give some of your time and your energy to something that that'll help some people who need it. Oh, by the way, I said really nice things about you to the the reference check. Oh, I, yeah. Yeah. I am volunteering to work with older folks who suffer from loneliness or dementia or maybe, you know, just feeling like they don't have a big support system. You need a pal. They need a pal. And so they're gonna pair me up with somebody I don't know yet who it is. I'm still, you know, you have to go through, you have to do a quarry check and you have to get a background. And I stupidly put Colleen down as a reference. Well, they were like, it was like talk to someone who's seen you with old people. And I was like, Colleen. Yeah. So it was literally like, have you seen her with an elder? And if so, how does she, I was like, well, considering majority of my life, we've been surrounded by confused elders. Including our grandparents. So yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, sure, sure. Yeah, it's really interesting, like when you, when you do the interview with them, they ask, they ask you a lot of personal questions, which I totally get, and they ask you about your preferences. Like, do you have a preference on working with someone with dementia or Alzheimer's? And he said, I said, well, this is probably a good point to tell you that half the family has Alzheimer's. And he said, some people though, come to us and they go, I deal with this in my day to day. I can't. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, that's, that's fair. And, and he said, you know, do you prefer a smoker or an odd smoker or do you have a preference in gender? I'm like, I haven't even thought of any of these. That's crazy. But it, it makes complete sense. But yeah. Yeah. I'm, I'm excited. I, I, Leanne sent me a screenshot of what she sent to him too.'cause I put her down as a reference as well. And it was really nice. I didn't even show you or tell you, I never will. It better fucking be nice, Colleen. No, I would never sabotage you. I have an ick, a new ick. I had ick before, but a bigger I for Sydnee Sweeney. Oh yeah. Why? I don't know. Something about her in like the, the news lately. Her face, oh, I don't know. I decided, I hate her when she was like some, and she was in an interview and someone's like, what are your hobbies outside of acting? And she's like, I fix cars. I was like, fuck you. But she did something like weird. She does though. I know. But it's just like, it gives too much pick me energy. It's, it's just to pick me. I don't know how to explain it. And that's great. That's your actual hobby. Like, cool. But like, I don't know. Just couldn't have said. I think I like her more because the way the SNL cast talked about working with her and they have some horror stories'cause they work with celebrities for a full week. You're with the same person all week and they all thought she was like, so cool, so fun. So down to earth. And I hate to say it, but that does sway how I, how I look at certain celebrities. But maybe they like turn on their best versions for that week and then fuck off. I, who knows? Who knows? I don't know. Something about her just bothers me. I saw a clip of Noah Centena and Zoe Kravitz and they are in New York City, I think in like Times Squares. Not Times Square. Are they dating Central Park? They are. They were literally all over each other. They looked absolutely homeless. Bridget. I was like appalled. And then Wait, wait, what? They're like on a park bench. Wait, when I thought she was with Chaing Tatum. Not now. And he's like rubbing her bare feet on a park bench in Central Park. It's disgust. They look homeless. No. Get the fuck outta here. Oh, his hair and beard are something, something else. He's, he is going for a certain look, I'll tell you that. Yeah. He needs to be better kept. It's just not it. It's just not it. Last but not least did you see any ads for the Bravo Next Generation NYC show? Because I'm annoyed about it. I have no idea any of the words you just said to me. I'm not gonna lie to you. Oh, sorry. Bravo. They are have a new show called next Generation NYC, and it's like, gen Zs, like Nepo Babies. It's a weird mix of people. It's like a couple influencers and then a couple children of Real Housewives. Oh no, I can't. It'll drive me insane. It's Gia, Judi and Brooks Marks Meredith Marks's son. And then like somebody else's daughter, I forget. Kim Zak's daughter, who's really fucking annoying and like random influencers. Tiktoks. I hate it. Hate everything about it. Yeah, I don't love that either. It's just, it feels like another platform for out of touch people to do more out of touch things. Indeed. Like the Kardashians just do, I don't get the obsession with them. No, I do. I I don't know what made me jump there. I mean, I guess No, it's comparable. That makes sense. Kim Kardashian showed up to the Met Gala and I was like, okay. And people were like, oh my god, Timothy Chalamet, I can't. And I'm like, they've been to, they've been out at award shows. This is their official red carpet death. It's, it's been two years of them. Who fucking cares? He definitely has to have a huge dick. Timothy Chabe. Yeah. He, so he gives that energy think. Yeah. Yeah. Not because it was with Kylie. That's not what I'm saying. I just meant like No, no, no. Just the energy he gives in general. Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah, I can see that. PD that's all I got though. Those are all my random manic thoughts. Wow. I have watched, ironically, the studio on Apple, and it's written by Seth Brogan and his writing partner, partner and best friend Evan in real life. They're the ones who wrote super bad. Yeah. Together. And it's, it basically is a satire and it makes fun of Hollywood. And Zoe Kravitz is actually in it, but it's just so honest. And I, I love it. It's like this whole industry is insane. No. Yeah. Even though it's one I enjoy. Does that make any sense? No, it does. Like, as someone who is a selfa, you take a step back, movie and TV buff. I, I can also see like, this is crazy reality. Reality TV is crazy. I love reality tv. I know. It's just nice to dissociate. It allows us to escape. We're just realistic. We all need escapism. Do you know that movies popped the fuck off during the Great Depression because it was just a way for people to go to a movie theater for a couple hours and not think about their shitty goddamn lives? I just live in delusion on TikTok. do love TikTok. I wish I did it. I will say when I was away, my phone usage went down 60%. I mean, you have way more to look at it. We're here, we're just like, do, do, do. In my perfect world, I just live somewhere that is not here from January to May and I come back in May and I'm like, what a do no notes Summer and fall in Boston. Fabulous. Even the holidays. Lovely. January, I, I don't ski, I don't snowboard. There's nothing to do. No one's going anywhere. It's cold, it's dark at 4:00 PM It's just not for me. No, it's, I see nothing wrong with that. Thank you so much. That New Year hits Audi. See ya. So what are you looking forward to this summer? What do you got coming up? We're working. I need to tell my job that I can't do it anymore. Not one? Not as much. Not as much. Oh. The second one, my weekend one, I, for some reason I think it's bothering me because she's scheduled me every Saturday, Saturday and Sunday. The past like three weeks. Yeah. So you need, and like, no one's picking'em up. Like I'm like anybody. And it's crickets. It's like the most humbling group message I've ever read a part of. Yeah. And like, I actually like can't find an escape like before, I don't know what it is, like recent, like before people are like, yeah, I'll take it, whatever. Something's off. Well, you know what, it's getting warmer out. It's gonna get, it's gonna be harder to get time off. Right. So I'm gonna have to have a talk with Miss Girl. Yeah. You're gonna, you just have to be honest about it. And now I have, there's nothing wrong with that. And you also, and I wanna do more fun things now with friend. And I think that in general you had a really, I know you joke about it, but you had a rough couple weeks, Colleen. you were holding down the fort in a very massive way and at one point you were at work and you were like, I told this group chat. My mother was in the hospital and no one took my shift and it just made me sick to my stomach. I was like, I would feel such guilt. Not answering that. And so you were working two jobs in taking care of both parents at the same time, and you said eight days, but it was more like two full weeks. Yeah. It wasn't really that sleigh, you know? No, you're, you're definitely not giving yourself enough credit. Thanks. But here we are. We're on the other end of it. We're on the other side of it. You need to have an honest conversation. You need to take a break. I know you need to make money. I know you're poor. I get it. Who cares? Yeah. Literally. I need a moment of peace. You need some peace. I do. Thanks. You deserve some peace, girlfriend. I know. If I find it, shout out to Valerie for getting us Regina's tonight. Again, thank you so much, Val. Love you. It just hit the spot. I haven't had it since I got home either, so it just really hit the spot. Probably haven't had it since the last time I was with you. Can't wait to eat it up tomorrow and eat it for lunch. Fuck yeah, baby. What am I looking forward to this summer? Oh yeah. Sorry, I forgot to ask you that. I have a wedding in Spain. Oh, yes. So very much. It's in early July. So I think I'm gonna go ahead of time and go to Barcelona. I've actually never been. I've heard wonderful things and everybody who knows me goes, oh my God, you've never been, you would love it whenever that fucking means. Say less. I mean, it's a city on a beach. You don't really have to, and it has great food and wine. You don't really need much more than that to make me happy. So I think I'm gonna do that. She's just a simple girl. She's a simple girl with non expensive taste, but travel expensive. Taste like, I don't want your cars, I don't want your pocketbooks. I don't want your shoes. I don't need a blowout every day. I don't even need designer shit at all. I would love all those things. Buy me a ticket. Get me the fuck outta here. All right. Rights. My, I'm tripping this bitch. Oh my God. I got lounge access. Oh, nice. Colleen. Call. Surprised you didn't have that before. Lean. I simply can never go back. This is how the other half lives. Free food, open bar. No children. No one screaming. Just straight up me sitting in a cozy little court. I'm like, do I start going to the airport early? Yes, you do. Yes, you do. What? I legitimately show up to the airport, walk through TSA pre-check and board a flight. That's how I, I probably get there 30 minutes before a flight, especially if I'm not checking a bag. Four. Fucking forget about it. Forget about it. Now they're doing, if you check a bag, you have to be there a certain amount or you can't check it anymore. Yeah. Which like, what do I do then? No, that's such bullshit. That happened to when I went to Jackson Hole. So what'd you do? Not to me. Oh, one of my friends and they were skiing, so it was like, and he had missed it by like three minutes and they were like, you can't, like, sorry. Yeah. So what do you do? He had to wait. Get it from flight. That's so fucked up. I know. It's he was so mad. I don't blame him. Yeah. I don't blame him because he had skis. Like he was bringing a ski, like he had to check them. Yeah. There's nothing he can do. Yeah. There's nothing he can do. You had to wait for a different flight. I would be like, can you check my luggage on a different flight and take care of it? And then I go on this one so I could just get the fuck home and I get my shit later. Yeah. I cannot recommend the lounge enough. And I get plus two. So if we ever travel together again and we go to Fort Lauderdale, me and you we're heading to the motherfucking lounge and can I just say the amount of money it spends me a year? Like I, I pay like an annual fee with my credit card and that's how I get it. Mm-hmm. I save at, on food and drink at the airport. One water. I'm like, what This is highway fucking robbery say less. You know what I mean? Yeah. So let's go hang at the lounge sometime. What do you say? I'll be there. You let me know when I'll be there. Twist, I'll come running. You have no idea. You have no idea. Alright everybody, we hope you're doing well. We hope you're doing better than us. Per usual. Yeah. Nothing but consistent here. Find fucking peace. Find your peace. And that's all. Te las Love you mean it. Love you mean it. Bye.
